FORMULA
E.g.f. F(x) satisfies F'(x) = exp(F^l(x)), where F^l(x) denotes the l-th iterate of F, with F(0) = 0.
Let a(n,k,l) = n! * [x^n] F^k(x), where F^k(x) is the k-th iterate of F, and let b(n,k,l) = n! * [x^n] exp(F^k(x)).
a(n,0,l) = 0^(n-1), b(0,k,l) = 1,
a(n,k,l) = Sum_{j=0..n-1} binomial(n-1,j) * b(j,k+l-1,l) * a(n-j,k-1,l) for k > 0, and
b(n,k,l) = Sum_{j=1..n} binomial(n-1,j-1) * a(j,k,l) * b(n-j,k,l) for n > 0.
These recurrences are computationally expensive; in practice, direct iteration of the defining power series is much faster.
